[Hiring] Senior AI Engineer @DeepMetis GmbH

Role Description

What your day-to-day work as a Sr. AI Engineer looks like:

• Create solutions for customers: Architect and implement intelligent LLM-powered ETL pipelines from scratch to transform unstructured client data into concrete, structured solutions.
• Build individual agents: Develop autonomous, multi-agent systems using state-of-the-art frameworks to automate complex, multi-step human business processes.
• Keep the quality high: Design and maintain robust evaluation frameworks to systematically quantify AI performance and serve as the gatekeeper of quality for production systems.
• Own the whole cycle: Build and deploy high-performance RAG systems and wrap the AI logic into performant, production-ready microservices (e.g., FastAPI).
• Grow with your team: Actively engage in creative brainstorming sessions and technical design discussions with teammates to challenge assumptions, jointly solve problems, and grow the team's collective knowledge.

Qualifications

• Fluent English: we're an English-only company.
• 2+ years of professional working experience: as an engineer (5+ years gets you closer to the "senior" bar).
• Strong Python: at least 2 years of real, daily use.
• Hands-on LLM experience: ideally 1–3 years of actually shipping LLM-powered features (not just notebooks).
• Experience building AI workflows / Agents: multi-step, multi-agent, or otherwise non-trivial orchestration.
• RAG systems in production: you've designed retrieval, evaluated it, and made it fast and reliable.
• Shipped to real customers: you've built things that real, paying users actually use. Side-project demos don't count here.
• Good communicator: happy in async text (Slack) and on calls. You don't disappear for a week into a branch.
• Genuinely curious about AI: you can talk us through a recent paper, model, or architectural shift that changed how you think about building systems, and why it mattered to you.
• Bonus: you have a cat. (Optional. We don't discriminate against dog people. Much.)

Benefits

• Remote work: Work from home or wherever you like; we are a 100% remote company.
• Flexible working hours: Work when you feel it. It's your life.
• Challenging projects: Work on challenging projects with meaningful impact for our customers.
• Amazing, creative team: Supportive, curious, open-minded. We joke around a lot but we're serious about the quality of our work.
• Continuous learning budget: We pay for your experiments and your side quests.
• Enthusiastic AI Engineers: We share a deep passion for tech and AI. We love to learn, grow our skills, and have fun while doing it.
• Fault-tolerant culture: Mistakes are part of learning. We make them, we learn, we move on. No blaming, no negative feelings — maybe a few jokes.
• ...and yes, you do get a Claude Code subscription.
